| - after not having a consistently dependable haircut in ages from the quickie chain of barbers, i saw an online coupon for minibarbershop. normally, the cut i chose was 30 bucks, so at 16 dollars, i wanted to try it.
this location is new. my stylist said it use to be at the scottsdale quarter, but has since relocated to this new location. upon entry, you notice it's just a fancy looking full service bar. very clean and modern, white and black. there is plenty of seating, a couple of "private areas" off to the side, 2 pool tables, and giant flatscreens displaying sporting events. at 3:30pm, it was empty except for one other fella getting his hair cut. the walls are lined with photos of bar and haircutting patrons, looking as though it's a big party.
i booked a 3:30 appt. when my time came, the stylist offered me a beer (included in the coupon deal). normally they are 2 bucks with any hair service. the menu of services include straight up haircuts, but also buzzcuts, scissor only cuts, hot shaves, beard/mustache trims, and coloring for both men and women, all at reasonable prices.
i'm used to chatting up my patients at the hospital with simple banalities, and normally so have been my barbers. my stylist today was good....it's the first good haircut i've had in ages, but it was obvious she would rather be somewhere else.
my cut included a scissor and clipper cut, along with a hot towel neck shave with a straight razor. it felt really good! and i feel all crisp and clean. the lotions and gels she used on my hair left me smelling like i was ready to hit up any popped collar scottsdale club.
i would definitely go back. maybe she'll warm up to a consistent client. we'll see.
